Surgical Robotics Market Overview

The surgical robots market players are focused on developing new products to grow their geographic reach and enhance capacities to cater to a greater than existing customer base with cutting-edge technology that meets evolving surgical needs. The integration of artificial intelligence in surgical robots helps provide real-time analysis, decision support, and predictive analysis. During surgeries, such robots can reduce human errors, identify critical areas, and optimize surgical planning. For instance, in May 2023, Smith+Nephew, the global medical technology company, introduced two key products for its robotics and digital surgery portfolio—Personalized Planning powered by AI and RI.INSIGHTS Data Visualization Platform. Advanced AI analytics platform integrated with the CORI Surgical System will offer personalization when performing joint replacement procedures. Similarly, in July 2024, Medtronic launched Touch Surgery Live Stream—an AI platform for robotic surgery. Touch Surgery Live Stream includes 14 new AI algorithms designed to enhance its digital capabilities within post-operative analysis. The algorithms deliver AI-powered surgical insights for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. Also, in August 2023, the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), a research center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, completed three successful trials on MicroNeuro—which is fitted with a flexible endoscope and leverages AI and precision control to perform accurate and precise surgeries on brain tissue. Such developments will ensure surgical safety, reduce surgeon’s labor-intensive tasks, and enable unprecedented novel surgical treatments leading to improved surgical outcomes for patients. Therefore, the development of AI-based surgical robots is expected to bring new trends in the surgical robotics market in the coming years.

Surgical Robotics Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Favors Surgical Robotics Market Growth

In the last 25 years, the incidence of chronic diseases has increased worldwide owing to lifestyle changes, which result in an increase in the number of surgeries. For instance, colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly found and lethal cancers developed in individuals due to the combined influence of genetic and environmental factors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), colorectal cancer was identified as the third most common cancer and the second highest death-causing cancer, with ~1,926,425 global cases in 2022. Furthermore, the mortality and incidence rates of this cancer vary worldwide, and approximately 904,019 deaths in 2022 were associated with it. Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women. Robotic surgery offers improved ergonomics and optics for the operating surgeon owing to the unique wristed instruments. For colorectal cancer, robotic-assisted surgeries allow precision, minimally invasive options, and better patient outcomes, making it a preferred surgery option for patients suffering from colorectal cancer. Therefore, the increasing incidences of colorectal cancer have resulted in the surging demand for surgical robots.

According to the 2021 National Health Statistics Reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the incidence of obesity has reached 41.9% among adults and 19.7% among children and adolescents aged 2–19 years old. Further, it has been stated that severe obesity, corresponding to a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, is present in 9.2% of adults in the US. Robotic surgery for obesity has advantages over conventional surgery owing to its 3D vision and precise, intuitive multi-range instruments that add more safety to the patients.

Thus, the rise in the prevalence of chronic conditions fuels the surgical robotics market growth.

Growing Number of Product Approvals and Launches to Create Market Opportunities

Product approvals accelerate the emergence of new technology in the market. In March 2024, Intuitive Surgical, Inc., a global pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for da Vinci 5—the company’s next-generation multiport robotic system. Da Vinci 5’s design includes over 150 engineering enhancements. Similarly, in February 2024, Virtual Incision Corporation received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing authorization for the MIRA Surgical System (MIRA), the world’s first miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery (miniRAS) device, for use in adults undergoing colectomy procedures. In addition, in October 2021, Medtronic plc received the CE mark for the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system, authorizing the system’s sale in Europe.
